Round after round, blow after blow, punch after punch after punch. Tyron and Jin were slugging it out, hit for hit the two young men slugged it out between each other. Jin hit Tyron with a fierce right hook laughing and egging him on, Tyron threw one hit and Jin weaved them both hitting him with a punch to the chin, following it up with an uppercut leading into a punch to the gut and a kick to the chest knocking him back. Wiping his forehead and launching sweat away as he clapped his hands smirking.

“Come on, come on!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAZzImNj7N0F
Tyron stood up wiping the blood off his lip as he stood up dusting himself off he put his hands up and ran in, punch, dodge, two punches, a left, a right, and ending it with a knee to the stomach and a chin checking punch that knocked Tyron down again.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAfDTYkPw0FN
“Yeah Jin!!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAfCQGVgkIM7
“Tyron man you’ve got this! Those are lunch to you and you haven’t eaten all day!!” Kyron cheered Tyron on.
40Please respect copyright.PENANABln2IyRyAW
“Jin Jin Jin Jin Jin.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANArbfyO1CmAg
Jigo cheered for his leader and immediately Kimiko challenged him.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAXA6Iu3iJTj
“Ya sista hits y’all harder than that! Kick his arse Tyron!!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANANziOTiEabc
Kimiko shouted out cheering and whistling, the two teams were cheering on their heavy hitters. Tyron stood up and cracked his knuckles looking at Jin, rushing in, Tyron dove to the right then the left. Jin would stand there laughing.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAVqIZYqpc12
“Man stop all that bobbing and swing! Swing and catch this combo!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAShGX2Hvrvk
Dodging Tyron’s punch Jin winked at his team emerging behind Tyron he threw a punch but his fist was caught by Tyron who slammed his arm on his collar and flipped him over his boy throwing him, hitting the floor Jin recovered and just barely dodged Tyron’s foot coming for his face. Jumping to the side he ran in, threw a punch and Tyron dodged it, then he threw one back and Jin dodged it jumping back and putting his hands up.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAmG39VDFEEs
“WOOOOO!!! GET HIM TYRON!!!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAHKtAl7g5wC
“Co-Come on Jin you’ve got this…”
40Please respect copyright.PENANASyg8AU855k
Kimiko kept shouting over Jigo who kept cheering and trying to match her energy. Jin went back to slugging Tyron and dodging his attacks but soon he began to go back on defense, sweating and breathing heavily. Ciara and Nepthys weren’t feeling it like the others, the two ladies were in a bubble of water made by Ciara. Kyron was there to cheering.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAj46soNFhhO
“I’m confused, why are we in here?”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAnnY6P4VuEh
Nepthys looked at Ciara who was tending to the marks and bruises on her hands from blocking Jin’s strikes.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0mFS6botc
“Simple. Tyron and Kimiko have similar fire abilities, the entire reason Tyron was doing so much running during the plan is because his flame healing is more volatile compared to Kimiko’s. Hers is more centered around healing however Tyron’s seems to make him stronger, I noticed it the way his flames kicked when you two were talking yesterday.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAFncdOT2n70
The fight continued to ensue and Jin was slowly losing breath while Tyron was heating him.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ0t7nhfB4
40Please respect copyright.PENANATzBvxDrTmE
“The more he hurts, the harder he hits whenever he catches you, making Tyron the perfect reward for all the risk we take.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAyDydUXCEZd
Jin would take a deep breath and see Tyron hit his chest.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAy0tDZldOjE
“Come on!!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAY4kdpepUox
Tyron shouted at his opponent. Jin felt himself stumble a bit, the heat was crazy and he was running out of breath.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA2GW1KcTF07
40Please respect copyright.PENANAsnECCkTzRp
“You were talking big! Now keep the energy! Let’s slug it!” Jin tried to stand up but couldn’t.
40Please respect copyright.PENANARWfntbe2Bz
“Box 'em out Tyron!!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAqEQQIBRhTG
“Yo-YOU’VE GOT THIS JIN!!!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANArXuUHwtETu
Everyone jumped when Jigo shouted, causing the winds to blast and cool off the area a bit, he covered his mouth and cowered a bit.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAeNSl1YaoTF
40Please respect copyright.PENANAyRhAhfe2wN
“Sorry sorry.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAw2BMnZ3yfO
Jin looked at his team and stood up cracking his knuckles, rushing Tyron he punched him in the jaw and Tyron decked him with three right back. The war or attrition began as quickly as it had been declared, both young men slugging it out throwing blow after blow after blow. Trading hits, no one dodging, no one running, the only way they got out of this is if one of them fell. Tyron began to buckle down a bit, each flash of lighting grew louder than the last but so did each wave of heat and with a final punch each boy connected and Tyron fell down on one knee panting and huffing as he looked to his team, sighing and shaking his head.
40Please respect copyright.PENANADhwwucRCqn
“Hell’re you shaking your head for, dumbass idiot. You just beat a god, stand on that.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAl0RpGqJR4E
Jin’s hair fell down no longer standing up as he fell down on his face, his pupils turning white and his consciousness leaving him. Instantly the heatwaves began to dissipate and Tyron’s entire team ran over surrounding him cheering happily and hugging him. Jin’s team walked over and picked him up, Jigo carried him and as they had said they’d do they left a card with Tyron’s team for the supply drop. Stepping away they’d-
40Please respect copyright.PENANAXgGCW8MLgc
“Someone's here.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAlQUuegXOGO
“Someone’s here.” Nepthys and Oason took notice, looking towards the trees they saw someone walking towards them. Hearing a loud crunch they saw a peach get thrown towards them. As the sun began to shine on the dark growth they saw Isaac and Karli walking towards them.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA7oJhjji67D
“Hello everyone, that was an amazing display of might, manliness, team work, and overall steller work with your arks.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAi6vEXRbOGy
“O-Oh my gosh! That’s the Magnet Maiden!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAxMi2hVm10v
“O-Oh wow, that name is still around. Well in any case your performance overall was-”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAoQv9lM63Pm
“Childish and dumb.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAXZVXe9Bng2
Isaac would wipe his mouth with his thumb stepping forward. Kimiko and everyone smiled and looked at each other before Ciara fell to her knees in fear and began frantically praying, shaking and shuddering.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA9bJuYD9Gop
“Ciara what did they tell you? Ciara!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q4vjHJAMZ
“W-We can’t win… th-that’s him.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAuEeiQPH9pz
“Hm?” Jin got off Jigo’s back stumbling and looking at Isaac.

“Th-The Black Death…”

“People still call me that name? Hmph.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAGTg7s6L1LW
Everyone felt a surge of fear running through their bodies, Isaac’s body was in front of them but his voice was behind them. Kimiko was quick to attack, launching a claw at him Jigo right beside her but in an instant everyone was blasted back with a shockwave, Tyron crashing through trees and Jin catching himself with one. Once everyone gathered their bearings they saw Kimiko and Jigo both unconscious in a small creator. Jigo bleeding heavily from the scales on his neck being torn, Kimiko’s healing hadn’t activated and they saw Isaac placing his foot down.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAUzc9IF9R5b
“Jigo!!!” Jin got ready to run but Jessica blocked him.

40Please respect copyright.PENANAxK8A3QrvcP
“No dumbass! I know this guy, he’s with the lady with those beautiful wife-like thighs I was blessed with seeing. He’s not an easy guy, find that girl and get healed.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANALKWBCpHmEm
“Yeah. Go ahead, come get healed.” Isaac called to Jin, Ciara was fearfully healing Jigo and Kimiko.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAuMIbUF2oIn
40Please respect copyright.PENANAM2cNdpMmHi
“Anyone who makes it to this creator can get healed and try again, if not well. You’ll die.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANA5FHIqMkkHz
Tyron huffed as he stood up and saw Isaac in front of him, his leg raised high before it was brought down on his skull. Then Isaac was gone.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAwb6WMIRj5n
“Gotcha ma-” Kyron felt him and Tyron slam into the ground, Tyron’s consciousness left him in that exact moment.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAuPbOeBc4mR
“Tyron get up! Tyron! Crap!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAqctjDJKyNW
Kyron pressed Tyron up against a tree and peaked out, looking around he saw everyone was scattered, taking a deep breath he’d examine the situation. His team was scattered, Ciara was terrified, the enemy team was terrified. Understood.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAiP9VSP3O9X
40Please respect copyright.PENANAwJatl7myM5
“Okay okay man, get it together!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAXEmkWg06JH
Looking back out he saw Jin’s team getting themselves together. Oason would flip her gun and begin to fire out shots at Isaac, looking over at the bullets Isaac would jump high into the air and kick the sky launching down at Oason. Flipping his Kunai, Kyron teleported over to Oason grabbing her and teleporting away just as the tree was split in two from Isaac kicking through it. Kyron teleports over to Kimiko and reaches out to Ciara, grabbing them and returning to his starting point.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAgPc6F3nU11
“Alright… We need to regroup. I’ll grab everyone else, Ciara you need to-”
40Please respect copyright.PENANALDnlQ9ywMt
“I know!!! I Know!!!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANA1iIKaDyzkb
Ciara gasped as she covered her mouth, everyone looked at her in fear as they felt the wind move. Kyron ducked down just as the tree was kicked in half. Everyone grabbed onto each other and Kyron teleported them away stumbling and falling off each other when they got back to the ruined cave.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAoibdLcXVli
“I-I’m so sorry I’m so sorry…”
40Please respect copyright.PENANA34iFv4gQEf
Ciara cried as she began praying profusely and trying to gather herself.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAjlieyh1Q4Q
“What the hell? Wake up!” Jin stood up shaking off the pain as best he could before kicking Tyron in the ribs.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAlZZanDtVoM
“Gah! What the fu-” Tyron was silenced by a ferocious ringing in his head which made him hold his skull in pain.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAGAbBu4uCMS
40Please respect copyright.PENANAItyEmiCF5i
“Sssssss…” Hissing in pain Tyron couldn’t even hear anything but feedback. Ciara reached out resting her hands on his head using the tears from her eyes to heal and restore his hearing to him.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA7LEX05CntE
“Alright let’s get this together, we’re beat the hell up and we’re being hunted like prey. We need to be healed, girl.” Jin looked at Ciara as she looked at him shaking.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAZgzMkdUGso
40Please respect copyright.PENANAPragi4TfNw
“You need water to heal us right?”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAo8sjTigD7S
“M-Mhm…”
40Please respect copyright.PENANARvFnsZNsiS
“Alright. There’s a waterfall east of us, we go there, you heal everyone and we come back and kick his ass. You.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAGF9catq5NK
Jin pointed to Kyron.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAG0kHDWSypM
40Please respect copyright.PENANAxuFLNZy7A7
“You go back and pick up our last two, Jessica is a tank but she’s not invincible. I don’t think your girl is handling this well either, we get them. You bring them back and we get the plan up and running-”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAFxZEsmktjU
CRACK!!!
40Please respect copyright.PENANASMAzgYzXyA
In an instant splinters were sent flying as a large tree was broken in half the force that caused it was Jessica and Nepthys’s bodies being broken through by Isaac, Jessica slammed into the already destroyed cave causing a shockwave that launched rocks, Jin rushed in front of everyone and began punching the rocks breaking them and defending everyone.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAH8ywIkAISx
40Please respect copyright.PENANAVI1phDSYOJ
“Run{BOOM!!!}PUWAH!!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAdFIMFAyw5Q
Jin couldn’t even process what had happened, he felt himself kicked in the stomach and back simultaneously the force bouncing him off the ground, Kyron’s heart nearly stopped and he went to teleport taking everyone with him back to the start.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAwmpvoNR4UL
“Oh you’re back, welcome. Isaac shouldn’t take too long, three miles in two minutes isn’t too far off of his record. Are you all doing okay?”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAKELMEnrMV8
Karli watched the students gasping for air and scared for their lives, Kyron barely got a breath of fresh air before the sun was blocked. He felt the looming shadow above him but knew he couldn’t react in time, he accepted the incoming pain but it never came. A burst of compressed air swarmed through them, looking back Kyron saw a blessing. Karli stood behind him and the students blocking them with her shield, launching Isaac back and standing as their protector.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA8BZq6urKQ9
40Please respect copyright.PENANA3pprIuM7ei
“I’ll buy you kids some time, Isaac. Down.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANA0CGXMN8yyQ
Isaac looked at her and zoomed past kicking at Ciara but his foot was lifted and launched away causing him to flip and land. Kyron didn’t waste this chance and teleported back to the caves with everyone, looking back he saw an eruption of energy but no Isaac.
40Please respect copyright.PENANACuEkLYhkBe
“Ngh…”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAadU3jUOPwX
Kimiko whined while Ciara wrapped a water collar around her neck healing the injury around it. At the same time she was using more of her ark to restore Jigo’s scales and heal him, both mutants weren’t liking this one bit. The pain was immense but thankfully they had their stress partners with them, Jigo was shaking and holding Jin’s arm while Tyron was petting Kimiko on her head. Everyone was being healed by Ciara taking the few moments they had to breathe, it’s been five full minutes without them being hunted.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pd5BRiTiY
“That was the worst ass kicking I think I’ve ever experienced.” Nepthys groaned while being healed.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAjHK1r6FzJz
“Speak for yourself, that was- ngh…. Nothing. Bet thunder thighs is worse than that psycho ballerina.” Jessica grit her teeth in pain as she looked around.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAd8P4Ez9oRD
40Please respect copyright.PENANATjSasv1qIT
“So what now? We’re kinda clueless, we don’t know his ark or anything. He’s fast as hell, seriously it’s like he’s got multiple arks in one. It’s crazy.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAWwZ5DneIiS
“We know he has an Ark and with that being said, I’ll do my thing. But I need to see him before he sees us, let’s think okay? He’s arrogant, he knows we’re less experienced than him so he leaves openings. We’re too slow and can't exploit them but that must be his ark, I shut it down it’ll mess up his rhythm then we hit him with all we’ve got. Kimiko, Jigo, you two need to take some hits. We need Jin to hit him, so that once the timer runs off he’ll be stunned from his Ark malfunctioning. After that we just need to beat him back… We do that much we might make it out.” Nepthys looked amongst the students waiting.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tc11z4iM6
“Uh huh and what if this fails?”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAD6d6dWE6H9
“We’d better pray it doesn’t.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANANCuI3cFEd0
Nepthys looked at Ciara and she began to do just that, kneeling down and praying for their safety for the coming battle. Time passed and with a violent gale, Isaac had appeared at the waterfall looking around, checking the sand he noticed the marks from where everyone had been and then he saw a flash. Blitzing to the waterfall he kicked a large creator into it right into Jessica’s face, which phased away into air. The water began to come back down so he flipped away landing back on the sand and kicking his foot fast removing the moisture.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAo7z4l3FSp8
“Clones? No… Illusions.” Looking to his left he saw Kimiko, bursting with blue fire rushing at him. Jumping back he’d kick her but she’d phase away. Then Nepthys came down after and he spun to kick her, but she phased away too.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAZvs5caKkcx
40Please respect copyright.PENANAA9f4mHsR8L
“Got me playing dumbass huh? Okay.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAaiX8mr1OXE
This time he saw Tyron running right at him, looking at Tyron he stood there and glared at him as he sprinted faster. Tyron cocked his fist back and launched a punch. Isaac looked down at Tyron’s feet and noticed footprints.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAOwp6GWVMJZ
40Please respect copyright.PENANAsaSHytRlKz
“Hm? Oh sh-”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAMbu8hh8hrr
With a loud thwack Tyron’s fist connected with Issac’s jaw. Sliding back Isaac planted his foot down and stopped himself by rooting himself in place. Reaching up he rubbed his lip wiping blood off of it. Tyron looked at Isaac and stood his ground, Issac would rush at Tyron and lift his leg up bringing it down just for Tyron to weave him.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAbxAdAUpikp
40Please respect copyright.PENANA6vfpP20tc3
“How the hell?”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAvlwzcP2fPu
Isaac’s foot connected with the air but then it manifested into Jigo who grabbed his foot and held firm, Tyron ran off and Kimiko dove in. Issac yanked his upper body back, flipping himself entirely and slamming Kimiko and Jigo into each other and burying them into the sand. Jumping away Isaac was punched in the back spinning around he kicked Jessica’s sword while Jin charged another hit and launched him back. Sliding to another stop Issac looked at his chest and saw his shirt was torn.
40Please respect copyright.PENANA4uQDOVHbWl
This was a war of attrition and they were winning, little by little. Isaac would stretch and look at the ones in front of him. Watching them vanish again he’d kick the sand lightly before hopping and shuffling his feet. Going in for a cut Nepthys’s blade phased through his entire body and with it so did she. Everyone looked in shock and horror as the light left her eyes and she fell to the sand unconscious, Jigo panicked taking a step and within that moment he was kicked in the chest and slammed into the waterfall burying him into the wall and taking him out. No one moved an inch but in seconds Jin and Jessica fell right afterwards. Kyron went to assist but within the second it took for his body to reenter the physical was all the time it took for him to fall victim next. Tyron burst into flames and charged a blast, firing at Isaac who kicked it down causing him to blow up the sand and blast himself into the air. Isaac kicked Tyron, launching him to the ground and bouncing him upwards and kicking him along the ground dribbling his body only to stomp him into the dirt. Grinding his shoe on his head and looking down at him.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAYtP9qZLJ24
“HHRRRRAAA!!!”
40Please respect copyright.PENANADEF4LMTkij
Kimiko snarled and rushed at Isaac launching fiery claws at him, however they failed as badly as everything else had. Isaac let her phase through him and her body shook and spasmed for a few moments before she fell down steps away from Tyron. Looking at Kimiko Tyron fought and struggled with all his might, he tried to stand up but couldn’t move. Reaching out to her his hand fell limp and he went out.
40Please respect copyright.PENANARZmkH4Vbvz
“I know you two are out there, come out. Now.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAaNsMStglKD
Isaac plopped down on Tyron’s back looking at all the students he’d just faced. Unconscious, bruised, beaten, and vastly injured. Oason and Ciara stepped out, Oason aiming her revolver at Isaac as they fearfully came from a nearby hole. They watched as Isaac pulled an apple from nowhere, eating it while sitting on Tyron.40Please respect copyright.PENANAWiPLGDf3eN

“Didn’t one of your members have that drop ticket? Go get that for me.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANArSxFGht67y
Isaac told them, Oason put a hand on Ciara and waved her away, Ciara hurried away stumbling a bit as she ran to go find the ticket. Grabbing it from Nepthys’s unconscious body she hurried back and ran over to give it to him, kneeling in front of him and looking down. Waiting in fear she felt him take the card as she then heard a thud behind her.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAtNynLOZDz1
40Please respect copyright.PENANAFeldhdXAxr
“So this is the next drop huh? Not like any of you were getting it for free, that’s death row right there.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAaaXQlMwVGD
“Black Death is still around isn’t it?” Ciara heard Karli but didn’t dare raise her head, Karli walked over seeing his handiwork and sighed.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAmr6tUYYq1n
“Uh huh and you’re gonna act like Magnet Maiden is something?”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAAMzU086zsg

40Please respect copyright.PENANAQsDT1SFONp
“If they die from this then it’s me doing them a favor.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAHQoAWTpi42
Isaac tossed the card on Kimiko’s unconscious body and stood up, Ciara saw his feet leaving and began to pray in fear. She screamed when she felt someone touch her, however her body didn’t move when she tried to attack.
40Please respect copyright.PENANAQFYO8jGV4h
“Oh! I’m sorry, I just need you to give your allies this message. Remind them of this when they wake up will you? This here was a reminder that there will always be someone who is stronger and faster than all of you, your new task as a collective is to find a way to work around those difficulties and secure victory despite this. I know it’s scary but build rapport and all will be well.”
40Please respect copyright.PENANAG9Xjun3FkP
Karli gently wiped Ciara’s tears with a handkerchief and gave it to her to keep.
40Please respect copyright.PENANASv5sdESwuu
“A bit of advice, hesitation kills.” Isaac told her and with that Ciara watched Isaac and Karli walk away, leaving everyone around her out cold and her as the only one awake.
